If he was in the marvel/DC Universe I think he would be one of the most powerful there is. Obviously there is people who can do the same but the fact that he can bring the powers back is puts him in a different league to these types of people.

I agree.

He will be far from unstoppable though. His main weakness will be against people who can manipulate minds or memories, as his memories of people's powers are what brings their powers up.

Also, unless he trains himself thoroughly, someone with a great power might just overwhelm him, like Ted's power did, rendering him vulnerable.

But if he masters his (technically other people's) abilities, he can just bring up what he needs at will, and gather new ones as he meets up with new heroes or villains. If he can get a helmet like Magneto's, to keep people like Prof X out of his head, he'd be unstoppable.

He's at least equivalent to an Omega-level mutant in the Marvel Universe.
 
His power is similar to Synch's power. The guy from Genertion X. Except that Synch's power is a mix between Peter's and Sylar original power. He mimcs your powers and finds ways to use them better than you. His only weakness is that he can't hold on to them. Too bad they killed him for no reason at all. He could go toe to toe with the likes of Magneto.
 
But in the heroes world there power stems from the brain. And in the marvel universe I dont think thats the case I believe its cellular. So we dont know that peter would be able to obsorb an X-man type power.

Just to be technical ... :O

Well:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Petrelli#Powers_and_abilities

According to Dr. Suresh, Peter's DNA re-sequences itself to mimic the abilities of those around him.

So technically, his body can mimic any physiology-based power, such as the Marvel mutants have, or even DC's Superman (mimic Kryptonian DNA perhaps?).
 
Of course, there's probably a limit to how much his DNA can alter itself before it starts to break down.
 
If Batman has time to plan then Peter has no chance.

tahts something i was wondering though.....does sylar actually need to kill them to take the power?

from what i gathered he basically just had to kill cos he couldnt stop himself.....surely if he just made physical contact that wouldve worked too......
 
I think he needs to have a look at their brain. That's why he saws their skulls off.

Yes Sylar does need to kill them as he takes a part of that persons brain. That was his first power. To see how things work. He takes the part of the brain that promotes the power of his victim. I don't know how he intergrates the brain into him but still that is what he does.

Peter would make a very powerfull Marvel/DC character. Almost unstoppable if he had every power.
 
Peter has to concentrate on what he is doing. So if were to be trained to use all his powers at the same time, then it he would be powerfull. I don't think that he has the mastery of all of them.

Hiro is the master of his time travel. If Peter were that great. He would have gone back in time to save Simone, who he had a love connection with. He would also be aware of the bomb and be able to stop Sylar and keep Ted under wraps.

Beep wrong you cannot go into the past to save someone just because you love them.
If it were possible Hiro would have saved Charlie but if he saved her from death she would die another way that was the way it was explained to put a limit on Hiro's powers otherwise he would be pretty much all powerful.
 
Can someone make a complete list of the known powers Peter and Sylar have right now? I would try to do it myself, but I'm in a class right now.

I've always wondered why someone like Rogue or other people that can take powers/copy powers didn't just take magnetos helmet and crush his head with it.

I mean, other than the whole "Magneto is the #1 enemy of the X-Men, sometimes, and other times he's a leader, then theres times he's on the team" thing they got goin on. I always thought that would be a cool way to kill his character off. He spent all this time trying to keep Prof X and other psychics out of his head by using his helmet, but it's one of the most dangerous things he's got.

You can't go into the past to save someone period. It doesn't have to be for the reason that you love them. This is why Journeyman fails.

Mimic is already a character in the MU. Oh, sorry, you said Peter Petrelli.
My bad :o

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimic_(comics)#Exiles
 
Peter is not limited in the powers he can retain. He also appears to have the full power of whoever it absorbs it from.

Mimic also has the full power of whoever he absorbs it from, and he has full control over it.
He's just like Mimic, but he's still awesome.
 
For the guy who asked for it, these are the abilities Peter has thus far (not counting Future Peter), assuming he didn't lose most of his powers in the explosion:

Flight
Premonitions (both in paintings and uncontrollable "visions")
Telekinesis
Cell Regeneration
Telepathy
Invisibility
Nuclear Radiation
Super-strength
Control over space and time
Blue energy blasts (last episode)

Sylar has...
Telekinesis
Cryokinesis
Eidetic Memory
Premonitions (through paintings)
Super-hearing
Molecular manipulation (melting)
Nuclear radiation

Oh, and these are powers Peter should have because he came in contact with these people but hasn't shown yet:
Technopathy (Micah)
Telepathic remote location (Molly)
Intangibility (D.L.)
and Sylar abilities that he has not demonstrated (superhearing, cryokinesis, eidetic memory, and molecular manipulation).

I think that as of right now, the energy blasts that Peter shot out of his hands last episode are probably the only powers he has. In the preview for next episode, you can see
Peter being beat up by the Irish mobsters, covered in bloody wounds, and not healing, which is automatic
, and there's no reason why those handcuffs would've held him if he still had Niki's super-strength and gave it the instinctual tug that anyone would give it. Remember the analogy about the sponge? It appears that the explosion over New York City left Peter "drained", so to speak...

Wow, nicely laid out. Thanks! :yay:

It was explained that he has to remember the powers to access them. The healing was the same way. As long as he has a memory of the powers he can use them whenever they need to be used (a la the healing thing and getting impaled), but if he doesn't remember them, or know about them, then he can't access them. If he doesn't know or remember who he is, then he wouldn't remember the powers. The energy bolt he used must of been from one of the guys he was there with.
